Europe 5G Revenues, 2019-2027: 5G euros and where they come from

Details

5G is rapidly approaching with some European mobile operators planning to launch networks using the 5G New Radio standard in late 2019 and 2020. A significant amount of investment will be necessary in order for 5G to deliver the expected performance levels and functionality. As such, mobile operators need to identify sources of revenue to pay for this investment. Simply relying on subscription revenue from end users will not be sufficient.
